Proof aka the reason my brain just exploded all over my keyboard

March 13, 2008

I have spent more time than I care to rehash reassuring certain people that, no, I do not have a drinking problem, and yes, I can have fun without alcohol. I merely am just more entertaining when I post stories of my drunken jackassery.
But man, sometimes I am that drunk and sometimes it does [...]

Luck of the Irish

March 12, 2008

I don’t quite “get” St. Patrick’s Day. I have had this conversation with several people the past few days. Irish Americans are not Irish. They did not live through famine or need snakes chased off their land. (That’s what St. Patrick did, right?). You don’t see me celebrating Bastille Day.
But, as Americans, we [...]

Herbivore

March 11, 2008

Some things are so good in concept, seeming to totally make sense. Leggings (oh, the comfort and ease!), Segways (I don’t even have to walk anymore!), and Starlight Express (Andrew Lloyd Webber…on roller skates!) all spring to mind. But in the end, they bring nothing but disappointment.
For me, the ultimate letdown has [...]

March 10, 2008

Betty Joan and I want to remind all you DC food bloggers that the much anticipated potluck is this weekend. Get on your treadmills in preparation and pull out the elastic band pants; I suspect we will all need to be rolled out on carts.
Please contact Betty Joan or me if you would like [...]

The Devil(s) Made Me Do It

March 7, 2008

There is a little devil that lives in my heart. He made me get the tattoos and the piercings. He forces me to buy all these  shoes I cannot afford. He keeps me up dancing all night.
He has a twin brother that keeps residence in my stomach.  With the help of his brother, [...]

Ask Lemmonex: How Do I Start?

March 6, 2008

The amazing jess asks:
as a total screw-up in zee kitchen, i’d love a column on ‘if you don’t cook, start with this’ type of thing.
Wow, a lot of ground to cover and I am still recovering from Christian’s win on Project Runway. (I must admit, though…I never met a ruffle I did not [...]

Sprung from Chaos

March 5, 2008

I need some order in my life and the Giant has launched a jihad against my fragile state of mind. Grocery stores in urban areas are the most nonsensical places on this earth. Spice packets reside above the frozen meals, precariously dangling above your head, and magazines and organic food exist side by [...]

Please Make Me Understand

March 4, 2008

This weekend I spent a few hours with DarlingO so her mom and dad could take a break and hit the gym. She is 11 pounds of badass and I cannot wait to teach her all the things in life her parents will not. (And look how damn cute we are. Look!)
The Os were [...]

Take This Pink Ribbon Off My Eyes

March 3, 2008

I once had a friend who would ironically exclaim, “It’s fun to be a girl!” every time she bought a new outfit or got her hair cut. It was an ongoing joke, that probably was not even that funny, but it passed our lips at least once a month.
I think living in a [...]

On the Single Life

February 29, 2008

Last week, as I waited for the sweet release of death from my illness, I found myself wishing I had a boyfriend. This thought does not cross my mind all that often, as I find tolerating other people’s bullshit to be even more draining that tolerating my own. That being said, every time I [...]
